OIL-CAIN.

Application filed November 15, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAWRENCE C. SIE- WERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Trempealeau, in the county of Trempealeau and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cans, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in oil cans.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a nozzle having an extension going into the can whereby the oil will be discharged through the nozzle with greater force.

A further object of the invention is the construction of the nozzle with a flared end overlying the bottom of the can and spaced from said bottom and sides of the can.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel details of construction and arrangement of parts which will be more clearly understood from the following description and drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation,

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the can, and

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the can on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

In the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates the body of the can having the concavo convex flexible-bottom 2 and is exteriorly threaded on the upper edge to receive the top 3 which has a downwardly extended interiorly threaded flange 4:.

A nozzle 5 is formed integral with the top 3, or secured thereto in any desired manner and said nozzle is provided with an extension 6 below the underside of the top 3 and the end of the extension is flared as indicated at 7 and said flared end overlies the bottom 2 of the can. As is clearly illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawing, the flared end of the extension is slightly spaced from the bottom 2 as well as from the sides of the can. The nozzle 5 and extension 6 are tapered as indicated.

Having described the details of construc- Specification of Letters Patent.

tion, it is thought that the operation and advantages of my can will be clearly understood. By providing the extension within the can, the oil will be discharged through the nozzle with greater force. As is indicated, the flared end of the extension overlies the bottom of the can and is slightly spaced therefrom. It will be noted, also, that there is a space left between the sides of the can and the flared end and that the oil in the can will pass beneath the flared end and into the extension. When it is de sired to discharge the oil it is necessary to press upon the flexible bottom 2 and by doing this, the oil will be discharged through the nozzle. Greater pressure is exerted upon the oil by having the extension 6 and flared end 7 as the oil confined within the extension receives the greatest pressure and pressure is not exerted against the entire contents of the can.

Havin fully described my invention, what I c aim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. An oil can having a nozzle projecting into the body of the can to within a short distance of the bottom and sides thereof to receive the oil equally from any part of the caln when the latter is tilted to dispense the o1 2. An oil can having a nozzle projecting into the body of the can to within a short distance of the bottom thereof, and having its inner portion gradually flaring and terminating close to the sides of the can to receive a like amount of oil when tilting the can from any point to dispense the oil.

3. An oil can having a centrally disposed nozzle which extends into the can, the inner portion tapering and having its inner end flared and extending about parallel with the bottom and terminating close to the said bottom and the sides of the can.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
